Vehicle checks online

With a classic car, it is very easy to overlook when an MOT test is due or that you need to tax or SORN the car, so here are some useful links to online services which could help you avoid difficulties with the DVLA or police. (6.8.08) Vehicle Enquiry is an online DVLA service that you can use to check what information is held on its database about a vehicle. In order to make an enquiry you will need the Vehicle Registration Mark (number plate), and the vehicle make. The online report will tell you when your road tax or SORN is due to expire. More Motor Insurance Database or MID is a central database of which vehicles are currently insured. It is worth checking as mistakes have been known in recording the information provided by insurance companies, so you are recommended to check that the MID entry for your car is correct. This can be done very easily at the ASKMID website. More See also our note on MID concerns. More Records of MOT test results are now held on a secure central computerised database called MOT Computerisation. This website only provides information about MOT tests carried out by garages using MOT Computerisation. More Tax online - you will need either the 16 digit reference number from your renewal reminder, or the 11 digit reference number from your Registration Document and your vehicle registration mark (number plate). More SORN online - alternatively you can declare a SORN on your car using the online service. More
